Bouygues Telecom is currently facing a widespread outage on its mobile network, with many users reporting difficulties in connecting to the internet or experiencing extremely slow speeds. The issue appears to be affecting both 5G and 4G services, according to reports from the French tech news site Frandroid. While some users have not noticed any problems, others are struggling to open popular apps like Instagram, YouTube, and BlueSky, as well as mobile games. The situation has worsened over time, with more users coming forward to describe the issue.
Some affected users have noted that their smartphones show signal strength in the status bar, yet they are still unable to establish a stable connection. One user reported being limited to just 5 Mb/s—well below the typical speeds expected from modern mobile networks—on both 5G and 4G connections. This has led to frustration among users who rely on Bouygues Telecom for daily communication and entertainment.
The outage has also sparked a noticeable increase in complaints on DownDetector, a website that tracks internet and service outages in real time. As of now, the cause of the disruption has not been officially explained by Bouygues Telecom, and no timeline for a resolution has been provided. Meanwhile, users are left waiting for an update on the situation, hoping for a swift fix to restore normal service.
In a separate development, the French bank BNP Paribas is launching a new student welcome package aimed at young customers. The package includes a Visa card, free international payments, a loan with an interest rate of 0.99%, and up to 175 euros in benefits. This includes an 80-euro discount and a one-year free subscription to Esprit Libre, a French clothing and lifestyle brand. The offer is intended to attract students and young professionals looking for financial services tailored to their needs.
